Our SONAR Simulator Supports Underwater Speech Communication Now

Due to the work of Owe Wisch and Alexej Namenas (and of the rest of the SONAR team, of course) our SONAR simulator supports now a real-time mode for testing underwater speech communication. A multitude of "subscribers" can connect to our virtual ocean and send and receive signals. The simulator consists of large (time-variant) convolution engine as well as a realistic noise simulation that takes parameters such as wind speed, etc. into account. In addition, linear and non-linear behaviour of the sending and receiving hardware can be simulated. However, no simuator is of course as beautiful as the real sea.
